CUBE (1998)
Certification15 Our Rating
A highly original and very clever sci-fi thriller in which six strangers awaken in a maze of darkened, box-like rooms, with no idea of how they got there or how to get out. A distant but ominous grinding noise permeates the walls of their prison, but it transpires that each of the six has some sort of skill that may help their escape.

Dark and brooding sci-fi treat from the director of "The Crow". In a city controlled by "The Strangers" - a colony of spooky bald aliens - everything stops at midnight.
